Afghanistan Peace CampaignMeanwhile, Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq, met with his British counterpart Andrew McCoubrey.
Four years after the collapse of the republic and the return of the Islamic Emirate to power, Afghanistan remains at the center of regional and global diplomatic discussions.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, during a meeting with his Indian counterpart S. Jaishankar, emphasized that the two countries share common positions on Afghanistan.
Lavrov stated: “We have a shared position on the need to ensure Afghanistan’s practical inclusion in regional processes. We also discussed resolving the Middle East crisis and the disastrous humanitarian situation in Palestinian territories.”
Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar added: “We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, and Afghanistan. I want to emphasize that India sees dialogue and diplomacy as the main tools for conflict resolution. We also agreed to fight all forms of terrorism together.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq, met with his British counterpart Andrew McCoubrey.
He wrote on X: “Met with British Special Representative for Afghanistan, Andrew McCoubrey, today. We discussed the evolving regional dynamics, the situation in Afghanistan, and the importance of continued international engagement for peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.”
In response to this meeting, political analyst Saleem Paygir said: “Pakistan and Britain are two countries that have always wanted instability and insecurity in Afghanistan. None of their meetings have been in the Afghan people’s interest, as Pakistan is dependent on the UK. I believe these meetings pursue another sinister plan against the Afghan people.”
However, other political analysts believe the continuation of these meetings and coordination shows that no country can exclude Afghanistan from regional dynamics.
Political analyst Najib Rahman Shamal said: “Special representatives from countries like China, Russia, Pakistan, and others have discussed Afghanistan in various meetings. They have pledged cooperation for peace, establishing an effective government, and combating corruption and terrorism, which is a positive sign.”
It is worth noting that Russia is the only country that has officially recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in the past four years.
